Will Hutton reckons that a Greek default will cause a run on banks in Ireland, Portugal and perhaps Spain. UK will be very bady hit. Hyperinflation in Greece.

The success or failure of your deeds does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed. Judge yourself by the intention of your actions and by the strength you faced the challenges that have stood in your way.
The people closest to you have been trying to tell you that you have made a difference. That you did change things for the better. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing that we can ever truly control - whether we are good or evil.
The political triumph of the American Right has been to advance relentlessly the economic interests of the country's richest people, while emphasising a swath of moral, social and foreign policy issues that motivate and certainly distract middle-class and poor voters.

In what way will the UK be badly hit? Drop in exports? Floods of immigrants? Shortages of couscous and humous?
BTW Will Hutton in a tight skirt & boots has a better chance of looking attractive than S Flanders (retches quietly).

I thought Hutton was going to have a heart attack at one point.

Agree Hutton was apoplectic and mentioned "domino effect of bank collapses and one of the worst affected would be us".
It must have been only 4 hours ago that I was driving home and listening to an expert on the radio "surprisingly good retail sales proving no 2nd recession and we are on the up".
Closer than you think!

Alas, when he started about the UK Flanders interrupted him and turned the conversation back to Greece.

All you need to know, is that Greece is essentially this...

The one and only good thing that Gordon Brown did was nothing i.e. to keep us out of the euro. Blair would have had us in, as would the Lib Dems.
We rent for £1350 a month. The landlord needs ~£3350to get a 7% net return on current asset value.

Most of the papers are running stories about stock markets rallying ahead of a Greek bail-out on Monday, and Newsnight run an end of the global economy programme.

As John McClane said.

It's time to pay the piper. There is no magician who will magic away the debt. Someone is going to have to pay it. Bend over and prepare to make payment.
In this glorious nation of ours, if you work hard and keep your head down for 25 years then you too can aspire to own one-eighth of a one bedroom flat in Manchester.
My mum and day always tell me how important it is to save to buy a house. They should know, it took them nearly 6 months to save for theirs. As teenagers, they bought a 3 bed semi.

Setting up the Debt Management Office was another. They've done a sterling job (pun intended) of managing the nation's debt and pushing out the average maturity to almost 15 years. It's one of the main reasons why UK interest rates can be kept low and a financing crisis avoided.
I do find it amusing that their office is in Philpot Lane.

True, and the only just way out is to transfer the entire Greek debt to Goldman Sachs. Make them repay it for their fraud.
